Achiou Winter Gloves, Glove for Men Women, Upgraded Touch Screen Texting Warm Running with Thermal Soft Knit Lining

These are really well made, fit perfect, are functional (using finger to type on keyboard and on phone), they are not think. They are lightweight but super warm (it was high 30's Fahrenheit this morning when I went out). Perfect for driving as well, solid grip on the steering wheel. I even got a complement from the cashier while shopping. The color is gradient (I got a purple one) and I love it!! I had forgotten I was wearing them while others I have to get them off as soon as ever needing my hands for anything! They did have a smell when they arrived but after a day airing out they were fine. I haven't tried washing yet, I may only do a handwash and lay flat to dry if they ever need it. I did wipe them down after getting home from the grocery store (just a barely damp cloth with a dab of gel hand sanitizer). They MIGHT be giftable if you can air them out before wrapping and wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth and gel hand sanitizer (I got the cloth damp - put hand sanitizer on my hands, and applied to the cloth then, wipe them off front and back). Then after completely dry you could wrap and gift.

So warm, while also being very thin and stylish. No bulkiness. Very nice, soft lining Comfortably loose on me as a woman, but I imagine a man could also wear them and they'd be a bit more snug Love the feminine color options. The grips are incredible for driving

This review has two parts: (1) the actual review of the gloves, and (2) the indoor experience, for the 99% of people out there who don't normally wear gloves indoors. ** Product review ** The overall value is great, considering the low $9.99 base price. They provide decent warmth, are not bulky, and are quite water repellent (I only tried a second under a faucet; I have no idea how it would fare being dunked into hot coffee). However, there are several issues that warrant a 4/5. - A few stray threads were sticking out of the glove on arrival. Hopefully they don't unravel anytime soon. - The fingertips for the thumb, index finger, and middle finger have a small region that is slightly whiter than the rest of the glove, presumably metal filaments. These allow for capacitive touchscreen usage as advertised. They cover the entire circumference of the fingertips, so you can use these gloves upside down if you wanted for some reason. This region is also quite large, so it's not like you can only use the very tips of your fingers. However, the touchscreen relay isn't reliable. It tends to feel sluggish somehow, and it doesn't always trigger a touchscreen response. Texting on a phone is not a great experience, especially considering the bigger effective size of your thumb. - The pinky finger is extremely long for some reason, so there's a large bit dangling off the end of my finger and being a hindrance. There is a little compression in the fingers (not sure if this is normal or not for this type of glove). If you wear these for many hours, taking them off will cause your fingers to tingle for a bit. ** The indoor experience ** I have very cold fingers. They freeze even when I wear normal winter gloves outside, so I have to pull them out of their fingerholes and make a fist inside the palm of the glove periodically to prevent frostbite. Since they feel cold even indoors with the heater on, I was hoping that these gloves would be thin enough to use for everyday indoor purposes yet still warm enough for my fingers. It's a long shot with high demands and... it didn't work out. They did make my fingers warmer overall. I drink water and go to the bathroom very frequently, so naturally I take my gloves off to keep them clean. Taking them off and putting them back on frequently actually isn't a big issue, though I do have to be extra thorough drying my hands (which I should be doing anyway). However, in that 2 minute span, the glove fingertips are cold again, which is a tad unpleasant. The gloves are in fact thin enough for "casual precision work." This includes coding, typing out this review, playing Silksong (keyboard controls), and even some difficult classical music on piano (but phone texting did not work well). I get like a 90% accuracy + some extra misfires and missed key presses, which honestly isn't bad. These are due to larger effective finger sizes and a lack of being able to feel. When the stakes are low (i.e. "casual"), this accuracy is fine, but it's totally unacceptable when you need to concentrate. A more subtle yet insidious issue is that I get this mental barrier of "I don't want to type because it's difficult now," which decreases productivity by quite a lot. Overall, I decided to return the gloves, as having cold fingers is better than having warm-ish but clunky fingers.

I love these gloves. They are warm and I can use my touchscreen phone with them on. I also love that I was able to select a size. I purchased the small and they fit perfectly. I will definitely purchase from here again

Perfect size fit, grip works well, nice warmth, and even better value

I travel in a Camping Minivan and needed gloves for use with Touchscreen based electronics (phones, tablets, etc) as well as a non-touchscreen Laptop/Computer via keyboard & mouse (do not use Touchpad do to "ghosting" issues) as my old fingers and hands do not enjoy being frozen while using electronics. In fact using the gloves at this moment, outside temp mid-30s F, inside temp low 40s F. I have wide hands but not longer fingers so usually buy XL gloves and put up with extra space at tips of fingers. Which would not be good for this use. Due to the KNIT type composition of the material the gloves have a snug (but comfortable) fit to my hand plus able to scrunch the finger area downward so that the finger tip areas are a snug fit also. LOVE THE GLOVES ! Over time my fingers & tips still get cold BUT NOT FROZEN and thus impractical to use electronics. Also keep in mind I am older (over 70) and tend to have poorer blood circulation in my extremities thus always gets cold. In summary: using Phones & Tablets - A+; non-touch screen Laptop/Desktop/Terminal using keyboard & mouse - B+; Samsung Smartwatch w/ watch face protector - C-/D+. The speed of keyboarding is reduced using gloves, the mousing is slower because of the gloves and the non-skid material impacts the slight sliding moments of the hand when mousing. The Smartwatch is not a big issue for me as it is only used because of having a heart issue. Using the tips of the fingers for swiping on the watchface does not seem to register and have to use the top of finger to get any response. Surprised since the gloves work GREAT on phones and tablets. But then again not an important issue for me with the watch - still prefer a watch that is just a watch LOL LOL LOL

Excellent quality! Touch screen tips work every time, very cozy and warm. I'm purchasing an extra pair!

I have purchased 3 of the pairs of these gloves, in different colors. They are comfortable and warm with the touchscreen working great on my cell. The reason for 4 to 3 1/2 stars due to quality control on the fit. They each fit, but the fingers are sewn tight on the circumference of some of the digits for each glove. My black pair are perfect. The black & white, and the dark gray are the ones that the digits are tight and some digits fitting correctly. I'm hoping they will stretch out as I wear them. The price is just right enough to keep.
